Erosion of metallic foreign bodies from the pulmonary parenchyma into a bronchus is rare. In this case, bronchoscopic removal of the shrapnel was possible 64 years after the injury. The 89-year-old veteran enjoys life and has had no further pulmonary problems one year after bronchoscopic removal of a metallic foreign body. Possibly this is the oldest patient on record to have had a foreign body erode into a bronchus and to have undergone removal through a rigid bronchoscope.
金属异物从肺实质侵蚀至支气管的情况较为罕见。在此病例中，受伤64年后仍可通过支气管镜取出弹片。这位89岁的退伍军人生活愉快，在通过支气管镜取出金属异物一年后未再出现肺部问题。这可能是有记录以来因异物侵蚀至支气管并通过硬支气管镜取出异物的年龄最大的患者。
